  1. plenty of risk involved with shipping first class international and priority international rates are high enough that no one wants to pay it. maybe I should have made my empathy more clear in the first post. we understand that costs are high, it just seems like lately every thread has multiple posts complaining about it. i have forwarded this to the usps and they will take it under consideration. they seemed impressed with the eloquence of your language.
  2. yes I have been complaining about high international shipping prices for years on internet message boards. also I didn't say anything about canada because obviously they have it worse than anyone so your city and colour example doesn't make sense.
  3. great link. i meant people from the us complaining about high shipping prices from overseas, not domestic.
  4. what about that isn't true? i mean, if you charge that much for media mail, it's pure profit for someone in there.
  5. and if someone from europe/australia etc. wants to link me to a thread that has multiple people from the us complaining about shipping prices, feel free.
  6. probably another $4 in actual postage cost (not including materials) depending on if its gatefold, etc.
  7. no need to clutter up threads with "would like this, can't afford $20 shipping". None of these labels are trying to gouge you, that's just how much it costs now.
  8. still, charging $7 for media mail means they clear $2.50 (at least) in pure profit for every record shipped. assuming you can pack up 20 records an hour (an underestimate if everything is organized). this means that basically someone is getting $50/hour to pack up records.
  9. We know shipping from the usa is expensive. You don't need to complain about it in every thread. As citizens of the united states, we are sorry about this. As citizens of this board, we are tired of hearing you bitch about it. actual postage costs are now ~$18.65 for an lp and ~$12.75 for a 7".
  10. pretty sure no one has ever gotten more than one of the most limited variant for dw releases.
  11. you must be far better at the internet than me because i can't find it on any blogs or torrent sites.
  12. band rules. record rules. come to the west coast please.
  13. who knows but it seems likely considering that they said only the first 100 have been produced. and i realize price has something to do with this, but has anything else "limited" from third man lasted 8 hours before?
  14. everything else aside, to advertise something as "limited edition" and then only press as many as people order is pretty deceitful.
  15. i think its a month for the regular version. I thought these weren't shipping until June either, but it looks like that's wrong.
